|MPROVEMENT IN COFFEE-POTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 220,691, dated October .21, 1879; application filed August 35, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH D. ADNEY, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in OoffeePots; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

The nature of my invention relatos to coffeepots which have filteringbags made of textile fabric and it consists of the peculiar device for removably securing the bag within the mouth of the coffee-pot, and also in the peculiar means of attaching the bag-supporting loop to the cot'teepot, as more fully hereinafter will be explained.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a coffee-pot having my filtering-bag attached. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of the filtering-bag detached. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the bag-supporting ring; Fig. 4, the bag-connecting loop detached; and Fig. 5, a vertical transverse section through the wall of the coffee-pot and the loop, showing the manner of securing the same by a screw-bolt.

Like letters in the several figures of the drawings designate like parts.

A is an ordinary coffee-pot, having spout a, handle b, and lid or cover c. D denotes; a loop, bent of sheet metal to acquire a shape similar to that of a butt-hinge, with a hole punched through the center of its flat portion. This loop I secure against the internal wall of the coflee-pot A by means of a small stovebolt, E, projected through a punch-hole in said coffeepot and through a hole in the flat portion of loop D, and by screw nut e being tightened; and I prevent leakage of the cofl'eepot through the punch-hole therein by placing a small leather washer, f, between the head of the bolt E and the exterior wall of the cofiee pot.

By this device, as will be readily seen, I can attach the loop to a coflee-pot already in use, and without any solder or tools, excepting a punch for perforating the wall of said pot, and in some instances I may prefer to use a rivet in place of bolt E, as an equivalent, and I wish to be protected in such use as well; or with new coffee-pots the loop D may be s01- dered on.

,with or disconnected therefrom.

For supporting the bag Gr in the mouth of the coffee-pot, the book 7L of ring H is inserted into the loop D. As will be readily seen, this method,of at taching the filtering-bag, as above described, is very simple and handy, and has the advantage over similar devices that it can be applied by any unskilled person to coffee-pots which have been already in use, and without the aid of any soldering-tools.

I am aware that a coffee-pot has been pro vided with a removable filtering-bag hong on circulating-tubes, and 1 am also aware that an open-top filtering-bag has been removably secured within the mouth of a coffee-pot by a sprin g-rin g, which expands outwardly against the walls of the coffee-pot above a head on the same.

Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A filtering-bag, G, made of textile material, and attached to a ring, H, having book IL, in combination with a coffeepot, A, having loop D, attached within the same, for receiving said book, substantially as set forth.

2. The loop D, attached to the mouth of the coffee-pot A by a boltor rivet, E, having washer f, in combination with ring H, for holding filtering-bag Gr, and having hook h, substantially as and for the purpose described and shown.

3. The ring H, having hook h and connected to filtering-bag Gr, in the manner described, in combination with loop D, secured to coffee-pot A by bolt E, having nnt e and washer f, substantially as described and shown.

JOSEPH D. ADNEY.
